TheOldMan is back

[TheOldMan]

Hi Guys,

I was curious about how expensive airline tickets to Moscow are so I thought I would look up the old RW forum.  Well, it appears to be gone but I see some of the old names are hanging out here now, eh?  Don't know if any of you remember me but I met my wife through LTP in Tver back in May 2002.  We'll be celebrating our 6th anniversary in March.  We were in Alabama but have been moving around a bit and we're now temporarily in Virginia (Newport News).  I haven't been back to Russia in a while but we are planning on going back this summer.

I'm curious to look over the site and see how things are nowadays.

Later,

John

Yet another Tver cradle robber - geeeez, you guys must have picked the city clean.

Welcome, OldMan. You remember all the guys whose visas were held hostage in the
summer of '02?  My wife and I will hit the sixth in February. Hope you'll stick around
to contribute - and bump into old pals.

Yes, I remember the visa debacle.  It seems that things are much easier now than they used to be.

Here's some photos from this summer.  Unfortunately, we don't have any recent shots of us together that look good:

My wife when we were taking hang gliding lessons:



And her taking the MSF course (but we still haven't bought her a bike):

And I've gone back into the Army:

Does anyone happen to know where to get good deals on airline tickets to Moscow?  We're not planning on going until this summer, but I'm still interested to go look and see if low gas prices and reduced demand have brought fare costs down.

Welcome, John!

Good luck on those Moscow tickets.  I'd say they could change by summer.  If you can book them now for then, I'd go for it.

I like this site to find tickets:

Hey Oldman!

Nice photos and welcome back! I would ditto Simoni on the tickets. They fluctuate so drastically and summer is always the highest rates to Moscow, I would check and see if they are affordable now. They are currently as low as I have seen them in three years but, I don't expect they will stay that way.

Welcome back OldMan.  I recall some of your story at RWG, the two of you working together on your roof.  It was interesting.  Was that you?

Glad to know that everything is still peachy. 

At RWG I posted under the name Bucky.  Finally married the Muscovite I met in 2002.

Wow!  You've got a good memory.  We've since sold that house and bought and sold another.  Now happily homeless.   

Glad to hear things worked out for you!
